Story
Nellie has gained a ton of confidence in her foster home and cannot wait to show her forever family her sweet disposition. She loves to snuggle up next to you on the couch and keep her nose and toes toasty. She is zippy fast to play fetch and adores other dogs. My name is Nellie and I am currently living in a foster home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. I am approximately alost 2 years old and weigh about 30lbs. Nellie was surrendered by her Texas owner with her two siblings. This stunning and regal pup is cautious and timid when meeting new people. As she gains confidence with each new day her playful and polite personality is coming alive. She loves the dogs in her current foster home and is a quick learner to routine and expectations. She understands the tasty value of a treat and is eager learn basic commands. She loves toys, bones and games to keep her puppy brain active. She gallops and sprints to fetch tennis balls in the fenced backyard. Nellie will thrive in a home with other dog friends, a fenced yard, endless amounts of dog toys, a dog bed and a kennel to curl up in at night. She loves chin scratches and will give you soft kisses. She loves to talk when she wakes up in the morning and to let you know her excitement to be outside! She is an absolute delight who easily entertains herself and plays gently with her dog friends. Nellie is a dog's dog, and would love to have another dog in her forever home. Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com.

We only accept applications from Wisconsin. Luna is currently living in a foster home in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Luna was originally adopted from our rescue as a puppy, but her adopter returned her after 2.5 years as she felt her schedule was not a fit for Luna and she was unable to provide her with the attention and stimulation she needed. Sadly, this happened for a second time with Luna's most recent adopter. Luna crates well, loves to play with other dogs, loves to eat, and is affectionate. She will require daily exercise and stimulation to make her a happy girl. Luna is about three years old and weighs around 35 pounds. Luna has experience living with dogs of all sizes and she is doing well with all of them.

Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Annie is a sweet girl in search of a new home with someone who will throw her ball for her and then cuddle on the couch, her two favorite things. Other than her ball obsession, she's lower energy, great with kids, and loves to be loved. She really does LOVE her ball but is very gentle when nudging it toward you to throw it for her to catch or run after. Annie knows come, sit, down, up, off, and is working on stay. She catches on to new things very quickly! She loves car rides, does well on a leash, and is excellent with her housetraining. Annie is living in a foster home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. She was adopted 6 years ago as a puppy, but her world was turned upside down when mom & dad suffered medical issues and she could no longer remain with them. She hopes to find a home with another calm dog (or she would be fine as an only dog as well) where she can spend the rest of her life! Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Molly is seeking a forever home where she can be a cherished lap dog and live a leisurely life. She has lived with other dogs and cats and tolerates them, but a home where she could be the queen of the castle and enjoy peaceful retirement years would be ideal. She doesn't enjoy the hustle and bustle of small children in the home so a family where everyone is all grown up would be her favorite. She loves to burrow in blankets and spend time in the sun. She hopes her golden years can be spent with you! Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.
